Any developpos out there?

On behalf of all QA analysts out there, please stop treating us like second-rate citizens. Passing us a blank defect/story with no details and not including us in scrums does not help our function at all. We’re not psychic, you know.

You’re not second rate citizens, you’re the enemy.

I’d like to pile on by saying, you’re in bed with auditors.

Hahaha, yessss; this. As a former Project Manager, this isn’t the way it should be, but it’s the way it is.

And the developpos can easily say to the BAs of the world to stop passing us specs that really aren’t specs, but rather a reflection that someone managed to find the “user story” case type in JIRA.

Fortunately, I’m the BA, the developer, the QA team, and the Kanban master all rolled into one.

No, the end user is the enemy. Developers are just the bain of Sys Admins existence.

Poor BAs destroy the whole show.

I’d be happy if my QA actually, yanno, QA’d a thing instead of just rubber-stamping releases due for production. I’m absolutely tired of re-releasing time and time again just to resolve issues that, 95% of the time, should have been found in pre-prod.

I’m expecting to work 6x24 from Nov 9 through Dec 20 for this reason. At least the paychecks will be nice I guess?

I agree..the worst is a story that comes with no information at all

brb writing user story with the basis of a colorblind sapient mold 5,000 years in the future.

Tell me about it... I actually had to spend a whole morning explaining SSH 101 to a developer yesterday, and I’m not even a sys admin.

I have sudo configured to print out this when you don’t have permissions. Or I successfully prevent you from doing something.

That’s more thought than most of our BAs bother to put into that.
